Formula-E case: Telangana High Court reserves judgement on KTR’s quash petition

The Telangana High Court on Tuesday reserved its judgement on the quash petition filed by BRS working president KT Rama Rao against the case filed by the Anti-Corruption Bureau in connection with the Formula-E race. Justice K Lakshman also extended the interim orders prohibiting an arrest till the court gave its judgement.

Earlier, senior advocate Siddhartha Dave, appearing for Rama Rao, argued that there was no evidence of any misappropriation



of funds in the case.

There was no instance of funds being used for personal purposes and there was not a single rupee’s benefit for Rama Rao, he said, pointing out that even the Sections under which the case was registered on December 9 by the ACB were not applicable.

Also stating that the case was registered after one year as if an afterthought, Dave argued that the case was nothing but an instance of political vendetta.
